Early Morning Care

You asked and we listened! We will be opening our doors at 7am this next school year to help parents that need to be at work early. Drop your children off and we will get them to school for you (CBES, Anderson Ele., IMCS, and KLMP).

We only have 4 spots available for our preschool for next school year. Registration is $35 and is non-refundable unless the class fills up and there is not space for your child. Registration must be paid by coming by the center or calling with a credit card. Class is limited to 10 students. Preschool is $250 a month and open for 3-5 yr olds who are potty trained. Preschool is NOT considered drop-in, so drop-in care is still available up to 4 hours daily before and/or after preschool.

Our summer camp is now more than 1/2 filled for preschool and big kid campers. We are expecting to be full this summer, so don’t delay making summer plans. Our full summer calendar will be ready soon (just waiting for area programs to publish their activities so we can make the most of the summer.) See more information ONLINE.

Drop-in Reservations

Although we try to accommodate all families, we have reached capacity multiple times in the last 6 weeks. As summer approaches, we anticipate this trend will continue. We offer drop-in reservations at no additional charge and encourage you to use this service if you have an appointment or engagement in which we are your only child care option. You can make reservations 3 ways: 1) Email Dana or Michelle at Islandtimeplay@gmail.com, 2) Call our landline, 910-458-4386, and speak with staff to request a reservation, or 3) Text our communication line at 910-685-1884. If you haven’t made a reservation and we reach capacity, we thank you in advance for your understanding as we continue to keep children safe. Please know that space usually opens up in a few short hours.

You can stay in the “know” by following us on Facebook and via our emails after you have registered with us. We are looking forward to lots of smiling faces coming through our door and we welcome all visitors to come by and see what we are all about!
